This is absolutely bonkers: newly uncovered text messages reveal that Republican operatives INSIDE the North Carolina State Board of Elections are secretly collaborating with the NC Republican Party to force local elections officials to obey partisan directives - or be fired.

This is a smoking gun: @DallasWoodhouse, the disgraced former leader of the NCGOP who Republicans nevertheless hired to help run the State Board of Elections, is working hand-in-hand with NCGOP legal counsel to pressure officials and even arrange votes.

This looks like an SNL sketch

[Mother Jones @MotherJones]

"Loitering is not permitted in this area," an audio recording sternly warns, as uniformed National Guard troops patrol Washington's iconic, algae-plagued reflecting pool. "Please proceed to a designated location."

Journalist Amanda Moore's dystopian video, shot last weekend just steps from the Lincoln Memorial, instantly went viral—a perfect 8-second encapsulation of American democracy under Donald Trump. Amanda has spent the past 18 months documenting the chaos and brutality of the administration's militarized takeovers and immigration raids in cities across the country. Her footage has been shocking, often horrifying. But it's never before been quite so absurd. (Well, maybe once.)

In her latest video report for Mother Jones, Amanda takes us on a tour of the Trumpified National Mall as the nation attempts to celebrate its 250th birthday. Not far from the reflecting pool's nanobubblers and security theater, there's a very different scene: Trump's Great America State Fair. When Amanda visited this marquee anniversary event, she found a dearth of visitors, a shortage of napkins, and a decaying model of the triumphal arch the president wants to build across the Potomac.

The symbolism here is about as subtle as a Jon McNaughton painting. If I hadn't seen Amanda's reporting, I never would have believed it was real.

The stage is falling apart at the rehearsal for Freedom 250's July 4th celebration.

BREAKING MS NOW:

The FBI is surging resources into what it calls a "priority" investigation related to the 2020 election in Georgia — an extraordinary effort to find nonexistent evidence to support Trump's election lies.

Documents obtained by MS NOW show that FBI leadership is authorizing intelligence analysts to work overtime, including weekends and holidays, on the case. And they show that Kash Patel is ordering personnel from all field offices to participate. https://t.co/SP8IGNMJwS

I bet they’re double diapering him
He’s incontinent of both urine and bowels
And that’s hard to contain.
ESP on someone like him
And Esp if he’s on certain meds that add to it
Like diuretics and stimulants
We shove Kotex pads down the front too
To try and stop the leaks.

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

Look how much fluid he’s retaining.

He looks like a bullfrog.

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

Looks like he got his first of the month treatment.

Someone should really find out what he’s being treated for.

@MikkoLover96 😭 I just want this all to be done wth already. This offseason has been total dumpster fire so far.

[Rymo @rymo_eth]

@ImBreckWorsham Yeah, unfortunately the very corrupt Supreme Court has ruled that recasting bribes as "gratuities" makes them perfectly legal (Snyder v. US) and that nothing the president does is illegal (Trump v. US). So in the end, nothing matters anymore and we are truly fucked.

[Rymo @rymo_eth]

@KobeissiLetter The Supreme Court has made clear that bribes and "quid pro quo" arrangements are legal now... very unfortunate.

[Rymo @rymo_eth]

@DallasStars You gonna have any good news for us today or can we just expect more of this?

[Rymo @rymo_eth]

@Lassimak woohoo it is so much fun losing multiple players, getting trades blown up, and signing no one in return... what a fun offseason

[Patrick Skinner @SkinnerPm]

One of the richest people in the universe uses his newspaper to say unlimited money in politics is just fine and dandy.

@ShortHandedZS Maybe - everyone will be another year older and our farm system is still barren. Our window was supposed to be now.

NBC Exclusive:

A White House task force has been gathering thousands of pages of documents from intelligence agencies — with plans to declassify some of them — so Trump can amplify new disinformation about past elections, three people familiar with the effort said. https://t.co/Bqbp8IblYi
